Leon is great. He’s empathetic and listens carefully. He’s unassuming and unbiased which is super helpful - I would 100% recommend him. I had almost given up on therapy and I’m continuing because of him.

I am licensed in New York with 12 years of professional work experience. I grew up on a dairy farm in New York and also work part time in a program with Cornell University helping individuals and families in agriculture. I have experience in helping clients with stress and anxiety, relationship issues, family conflicts, & trauma and abuse. I work with my clients to create an open and safe environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear of judgment. It takes courage to seek out a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. I am here to support & empower you in that journey.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
